Chapter 91 - Chapter 87: The Sorrow of a Spy

"But what's the use of this?"

Mitokado Homura expressed his doubts, "For example, Uchiha Obito controlled the Hidden Mist Village, yet didn't bother to replace Karatachi Yagura to govern the village. Instead, he left the Hidden Mist Village more chaotic under the Blood Mist Policy, which is not a method of peace, right?"

"And... how is he going to resurrect Nohara Rin?"

Mitokado Homura brought up the biggest confusion and even seriously pondered, "In the Ninja World, Jutsu that can resurrect people is extremely rare. Even a genius like the Second Hokage only developed the not-so-perfect Reanimation Jutsu..."

"Could it be..."

"Uchiha Obito plans to use the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect Nohara Rin?"

"Perhaps..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and mentioned a few things about the Reanimation Jutsu, "According to the records left by the Second Hokage in the Sealing Book, the Reanimation Jutsu requires the sacrifice of the living. The stronger the power of the living sacrifice, the closer the strength of the resurrected deceased is to their power in life..."

"Desecrating the dead, harming the living..."

Utatane Koharu quickly closed the potential leak of the Forbidden Technique, "This is an absolute forbidden technique that the First Hokage and Tobirama-sensei personally banned!"

"We have always been following the will of the Second Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen also did not believe anyone could successfully learn it because that Jutsu is still imperfect, and the difficulty of learning is exceptionally high. Now, he is more focused on Uchiha Obito's matters.

Knock knock knock...

There was a knocking sound coming from outside the Hokage Office.

Kakashi Hatake walked in with the two youngsters, Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi, only to see the Konoha high-ranking officials present with somewhat serious expressions.

Obviously...

It seems another major event has happened.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not conceal much and mentioned Uchiha Obito's great feats in the Hidden Rock Village, saying sternly, "Kakashi, the harm caused by Uchiha Obito is growing larger. I believe sooner or later he will endanger Konoha's safety. We must intensify our efforts to track him down..."

"You three once went to the Hidden Mist Village to investigate and thwarted Uchiha Obito's plot to control the Hidden Mist Village. Now, I want your team to go to the Land of Earth to scout Uchiha Obito's trails. Whatever Uchiha Obito intends to do, we must stop him!"

"Understood!"

Kakashi Hatake originally only wanted to do this.

As for Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi, one of them is extremely powerful, and the other represents the Uchiha clan, making them quite suitable for tracking Uchiha Obito.

"Be careful."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff on his pipe and warned again, "Be careful to avoid attracting attention from the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, when you go to the Land of Earth..."

That old fellow is very powerful, especially the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki's Dust Release Kekkeitota, which is even more terrifying than ordinary Kekkeigenkai!

"Understood."

Kakashi Hatake has also heard of that Tsuchikage's name.

"Go get ready then."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and glanced at Shimura Danzo nearby, "Danzo, have the Intelligence Department personnel cooperate with them."

"..."

Shimura Danzo was silent for a while, his gaze slowly shifting. After pondering for a moment, he finally settled his gaze on Uchiha Itachi.

"Itachi."

"Come with me."

Shimura Danzo, leaning on his cane, said slowly, "I will give you the list of members from the Hidden Rock Village's Intelligence Department, and you can contact them then."

"..."

Akihara Kagura seemed somewhat disheartened, lowering his head.

Kakashi Hatake keenly noticed his subordinate's displeasure, and after leaving the Hokage Tower, he planned to comfort him. Staying away from that guy Shimura Danzo was no bad thing.

"I know who the Intelligence members of the Hidden Rock Village are."

Akihara Kagura's voice was somewhat suppressed with sorrow, as if deliberately bringing up something that upset him, "On the Chunin Exam day last year, Kabuto Yakushi treated me to ramen, then went to carry out the mission in the Hidden Rock Village..."

"I remember that guy..."

Kakashi Hatake recalled the person who insisted on paying.

Kakashi Hatake had never seen Akihara Kagura so dejected and softly comforted, "It seems you two have a good relationship. I'm sure that person named Kabuto Yakushi is safe and sound in the Hidden Rock Village."

"Not really."

Akihara Kagura shook his head and sighed, "My main intention was always to kill him. We can't make a move in the village, so I could only seize the opportunity on this trip to the Land of Earth. If Master Danzo doesn't tell me how to contact him, how will I kill him?"

"Don't think about killing your village companions!"

Kakashi Hatake's forehead twitched slightly, somewhat regretting his attempt to comfort Akihara Kagura, helplessly rubbing his forehead, "You are no longer a member of Root. You are an Anbu Ninja, so straighten out your thoughts..."

"This time..."

"Shimura Danzo did a good thing."

"Don't contact intelligence members privately."

"Without permission from superiors, we can't casually make contact with Intelligence Department personnel to avoid exposing their identities and endangering them."

Kakashi Hatake then remembered the surname Yakushi, asking, "By the way, the surname Yakushi seems familiar. What is the relationship between Kabuto Yakushi and Yakushi Nonou?"

"You should know from the names..."

Akihara Kagura looked at Kakashi Hatake in disbelief, "Of course, Kabuto Yakushi, like me, is an orphan adopted by Dean Nonou Yakushi!"
